  • Device and method for parallel microfluidic pressure-volume-temperature analysis
    Patent number: 10175380
    Abstract: A microfluidic device and method is described to parallelize a pressure-volume-temperature (“PVT”) analysis such that a portion of the pressure, temperature and volume analysis is performed separately from others. The resulting PVT data is then recombined statistically for a complete PVT analysis. The microfluidic device may also obtain compositional data of the fluid to perform an equation of state analysis or reservoir simulations.
